Waving

I am 65 and have had one kind or other rag top since i was 18. I wave at all rag tops from cheap and old to new and expensive. I get very few wave backs. I also owened bikes and got waves from most, except racers. Don't know why people aren't more friendly. HAVE A NICE DAY

I always wave or flash my lights when I see women driving topless.

Thumbs up

I have been waved at a couple of times and returned the wave while driving my Boxster. We do not have many Porsches where we live so I have not run into too many. Suprisingly we drove to Miami for Christmas and in alsmot 1000 miles never came across another Porsche. I saw many BMWs, MBs, amd Jaguars, one Bugatti, one Maserati and a Lamborghini/ I know this is not germane to the thread, I just thought it odd. I also ride a bike and always wave at other riders regardless of the type or brand on motorcycle they are on.

i usually always flash, and if the other P-car is far enough ahead, i usually get one back (even 911's)

..and if I'm in the 914... well... sometimes it's more of a wink lol

In my neck 'o the woods, I haven't had a Porsche not return the wave. Even the 911 drivers wave. Though I'm usually in my own world when driving the Boxster with the top down so usually it's the other Porsche that initiates the wave or horn beep.

Now when I was riding a bike, the Harley riders would never ever return the wave to me riding on a Honda.

On Monday mornings, I often pass a silver 987 Box in my silver 986. For monthes, no flashes or waves; I guess like me, he is grimly returning the weekend funcar to weekday storage. After I installed my Zeintop, Mr. 987 now flashes, thumbs up and grins!
